At home, by the good window.
Shhh.
In-home newborn photography in Orange County and Los Angeles.
I come to you, so nobody has to buckle a brand-new baby into a car seat and drive to a studio. One slow morning at your place, and the home they first came back to ends up in the pictures too.
The baby doesn’t have to do anything.
The part you don’t need to worry about.
Awake? Fine. Asleep? Great. Hungry halfway through? We stop.
There’s no schedule to keep. I leave room for whatever your baby needs that day, and for whatever a big sibling needs too.
And your house doesn’t need to look like a catalog. I usually need a good window, your bed, maybe the nursery or the corner of the couch you’ve been living on. That’s plenty.
He was patient and went with the flow, never making us feel rushed when we needed to pause for feedings.

The Session
The Picture Book - Newborn Session
Your place. Your people.
One morning at your place, with everybody who lives there. Parents, big siblings, the dog.
- One to two hours
- Your home, no studio
- Parents + siblings included
- Pets welcome
- Full curated gallery, typically 75+ edited images
- Styling + prep guide
$650
In-home sessions across Orange County and Los Angeles.
Every photograph I select and edit is included in that price, lightly retouched and yours to keep. No choosing favorites. No extra image purchases.
When
Seven to fourteen days is lovely. It’s not an expiration date.
Day seven to day fourteen is the usual answer, mostly because they sleep hard and still curl up like they did inside. It’s a preference, not a deadline. Three weeks, six weeks, three months, I will still come, and those sessions are wonderful for different reasons.
Still Waiting?
You’re early, which is a good problem.
Maternity photos tell the part before this one, usually around 28 to 34 weeks, outside or at home.
Book both sessions together and we’ll plan maternity first, then pencil in your newborn morning around your due date. Once your baby arrives, we’ll choose the actual day.
$1,050for both sessions
Save $250 vs. booking both at standard rates. Each session gets its own full curated gallery, typically 75+ edited images.
Newborn Stories
Four real newborn mornings.
A portfolio is my best frames from everybody. These are a set from one family at a time, so you can see how a morning actually holds together.

How the Morning Goes
One to two hours at your place. Here’s the whole thing, from the first message to the gallery.
-
Before
I send a short in-home guide: the two rooms that matter, the light, and what to wear. Ten minutes of reading, then it’s handled.
-
The hour or two
Shoes off, hello to whoever is awake, then I find the good window. Your bed, the corner of the couch, the nursery. Hands, feet, the way they still curl up like they haven’t quite unfolded yet. We pause for feedings and changes whenever the baby says so; one to two hours leaves room for all of it.
-
After
Photos in about two weeks. You get the full curated gallery, typically 75+ edited images, each one lightly retouched. No image limits, no choosing favorites, no extra image purchases. Every photograph I select and edit is yours.
A Note From Daniel
In-home newborn sessions are the quietest thing I do, and I like them that way. Once the guide is read there’s nothing to perform. You don’t have to entertain me. Mostly it just feels like somebody came over.
Noodles reviewed this page. His only note: “more babies.” Approved.
Kind Words
Your positivity and safe space made us feel at ease, and your attention to detail for me and my new born in the early weeks of their life was also a gift in itself!

Want a quiet morning like this at your place?
No perfect morning required.
Tell me your due date, or your baby’s birthday if they’re already here, and a little about your family. Either way, let’s find a morning.
